What is coronavirus?

Term coronavirus is used for any virus belonging to the Coronaviridae family. This family is organized in two sub-families and both of them cause various diseases with different levels of severity. Coronavirus disease 2019 - "COVID-19," is an infection caused by a specific virus SARS-CoV-2*, which was first discovered in late 2019 in Wuhan, China.

The name coronavirus is derived from the Latin corona, meaning "crown". Protein spikes covering the surface of the virus create this specific crown shape.

Incubation period

Incubation period is the time elapsed between virus exposure and first symptoms Incubation period of coronavirus is 2 to 14 days ... that's why the quarantine, when returning from affected locations, is set to 2 WEEKS.

The risk of getting infected is the same for all people. Children and young people, however, often experience only mild symptoms of the disease.

What are the symptoms?

*Some patients experience pneumonia, which can result in respiratory failure.

Other common symptoms are:

Headaches

Sore throat

Stuffy nose

Sometimes even nausea and diarrhea.

Duration of the disease with mild symptoms: 2 weeks.
Duration of the disease with severe symptoms: 6 weeks.

How is it diagnosed?

The doctor may take some samples, including saliva, nasal swab and throat swab, to send for testing.

How is it treated?

There is no specific antiviral medicine yet. The treatment is mostly symptomatic, depending on individual needs of each patient. If the symptoms are mild, the patient can stay home and treat the symptoms there. If the symptoms are severe, the patient needs to be put in hospital (in case of breathing problems, for example).
